UT softball: Longhorns headed to Women’s College World Series

AUSTIN — Blaire Luna led the Texas Longhorns back to the College World Series in style.

The senior pitcher threw her eighth career no-hitter on Sunday, and this one wrapped up a two-game sweep of UT’s super regional against Florida State at McCombs Field. With Sunday’s 4-0 victory, the Longhorns advance to the Women’s College World Series for the first time since 2006.

It will be the fifth WCWS trip for UT, which has never won a national championship in softball. This year’s WCWS begins Thursday in Oklahoma City.
